Introduction to Arduino and the Internet of Things

Learn to apply your user-experience design skills to connected environments and the Internet of Things in this hands on workshop. Together we'll build several Arduino projects that illustrate Arduino I/O basics including Blink (the “hello world” of the Arduino), buttons, potentiometers, and LEDs.

You'll also learn to plug a sensor in to the Arduino and have it communicate with your computer via Processing, all while encountering real-world case studies. The additional $50 fee is to purchase the necessary hardware, which is yours to keep.
